Reviews in Poulton-Le-Fylde

Went for lunch on saturday with the mrs, it was excellent!! I had a massive pork chop with black pudding, mash and veg, the quality was really good. The other half had a sort of ploughmans platter which was also very good, high quality ingredients used and presented well. Will be back to try other things as it was a hard choice from a very varied menu.

Fantastic place. Great traditional food in a buzzing atmosphere. It's the atmosphere that makes up for the lack of seating spaces. Great night in a wonderful place!

Had lunch there today and was very impressed with the quality of the food and the friendliness of the staff, will be using again.

A real Spanish treat without the travel! Shelley's food has the genuine flavour of Spain (her Paella Valenciana is a must have). Moises' selection of wines is limited, but chosen with gusto and well suited to the menu. Español is so good, we do not like to leave witout a follow up reservation. They make a great team and hope to enjoy their magic for a long time.

This restaurant has a great atmosphere and the staff are very welcoming ,attentive and polite. There is plenty to choose from on their extensive menu. More importantly the food is great.

Ate at espanyol last nite food fantastic good choice of wines service great will be back muy bien

Absolutely packed on a Monday Night. Great food with generous portions, friendly staff and good service.

Went to Espanol last night (couldn't get in last week) and had a wonderful evening, so much so that we are going back next week. Lovely food, lovely service and lovely people. Best of luck

Great little place, nice

Went to Espanol Saturday night. great atmosphere. The food was amazing and the service was great. Definitely will be back. Chris

have eaten there a lot over the last 5 years but wont be back. From cold plates to smaller and smaller portions. Steak and ale pie should be renamed gravy pie chicken and leek pie contained 3 tiny pieces of chicken veg undercooked. salmon main course looked like a starter with only 6 raw green beans a sliver of salmon and 4 tiny new potatoes a joke as a main course!! but not at the price!!! not a lot to write home about here not worth the money a shame because its my local !!!!

I was working in the local area and discovered this lovely friendly cafe. The service was excellent and I highly recommend their homemade soup. I treated myself to some chocolate fudge cake too. Absolutely delicious! Will definitely go again.

Spent a happy hour browsing around this shop and bought a very beautiful wedding gift. Finished off with an afternoon tea - the scone and clotted cream was to die for.

Works night out, Saturday night, we turned up with an extra diner (!) and although it was absolutely packed , we were accommodated with a different table, no problem. Gave us a chance to enjoy another glass or two of red! Great food, great staff, great atmosphere, can't fault it.

Last time that I will EVER come here again! The owner & staff are consistently rude & the food is just OK. A party of 9 of us came to eat on Friday night for a retirement do. Had originally booked for 12 but changed it to 8 as some people cancelled. As it was 9 turned up, ONE extra person & the owner went mad! Swinging his arms about, shouting No! No! Nine's too many! You said 8! Shouting that he could not possibly fit an extra person in! We thought he was joking at first but when we realised he was serious (!) we decided to leave & find somewhere else to eat in Poulton as it is not lacking in nice restaurants but our party had already ordered 2 bottles of champagne whilst waiting for the table & we hadn't finished these. One of the waiters managed to eventually fit another chair round the table (it wasn't that hard!) while the owner was still creating a scene! Of course the atmosphere was shattered so we kept drinking to a minimum after that, not wishing to spend our money there. After the meal, the waiters brought the dessert menu round, we considered it but all declined, at that he said "Well you've got 10 minutes to leave then as we've got another party coming in that needs the table"! What would he have done if we HAD wanted a dessert? Put them in doggy bags for us while we left?! A few of our party asked for coffee & although this was not refused, the waiter was clearly exasperated & there was a lot of puffing & eye-rolling! This is not the first time the staff & owners have been rude there but the 3 previous times it was 'bordering' on the funny/ludicrous (such as the time we asked for pepper from a pepper meal to be told by the owner that he didn't have one as this was 'old-fashioned' & instead he promptly unscrewed the pepper shaker on the table & sprinkled some on my friend's meal with his bare fingers!) but this time it was just rude. From what I could see the people waiting to 'fill the place' were all teenagers who obviously had been tempted in by the half-price menu, for a cheap pizza before they spent their money in the neighbouring clubs. I believe this restaurant is quiet during the week, with service like this I wonder why...... Never again!

Tried Espanol for the first time last night, and will definitely be returning. Tapas was excellent with a great variety of fresh dishes to suit everyone. Though busy, the service was good and you didn't feel rushed. A brilliant evening, will try the Paella next time! Wish this restaurant every success.

The best Thai in Blackpool!!!! Can't fault the food excellent and great value for money with early bird. Fantastic food nice restaurant would highly recommend!!

went last night (21/04/12) in a party of 12 ,this was my 3rd and last visit .in future i will stick to the best Indian restaurant by a country mile ,MAYA on tithe barn st poulton ,the decor might not be as new as the lemon tree,but the food and the service can,t be beaten
